The Department of Defense’s research, technology, and engineering investments strategic heading is set by USD (R&E). • Quantum Science is one of DoD’s 11 top modernization priority areas. • In a 2018, the position of Principle Director of Quantum Science was created within Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research And Engineering (OUSD/R&E). • This position is currently held by Dr. Paul Lopata.

In parallel, the Intelligence Community has played a critical role in developing QIS over the past 3 decades, and has showed sustained commitment to the technology. ARO, ONR, and AFOSR

The Research Offices of the Army, Navy, and Air Force primarily fund systematic studies directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind

The mission of the Research Directorate is to conduct world-class scientific research with the objective of developing new and innovative techniques to support and enable the Agency mission, as well as those of the IC/DOD/USG. Superconducting qubits • LPS has both internal and externally-funded research in QIS. • Advance the state-of-the-art in qubit devices, multi-qubit quantum control, enabling technologies and related theory • Long-term commitment to quantum computing research • Program-oriented model while preserving flexibility for individual awards • Focused on gate-based quantum computing Si quantum Dots

Trapped ions 7 NASA

NASA and its partners are responding to the “Strategic Vision Design and build of a space-to-ground for America’s Quantum Networks.” For that vision, NASA and quantum link its partners are committed to the development and maturation of all required technologies to enable a space-to-ground quantum link that is able to support the QIS community and advance the US capabilities in quantum communications and networking, for both space and terrestrial applications.

ACTIVITIES • A joint effort to design and build a high-rate and high-fidelity space-to-ground quantum link • Research in quantum computing and networking • R&D/T in quantum-based and quantum-enhanced technology development for space- and ground-based applications • A joint quantum-science experiment on the International Space Station

8 And the End-User Agencies

How can quantum computers, networks, and sensors enhance our ability to…?

• National Institutes of Health (NIH) • Quantum Computing for Biological Sciences • Quantum Sensor for enhanced imaging • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • Data security • Gravitational anomalies. • United States Geological Survey (USGS) • Seismic Events
